Can also be seen on the world map (not sure if it could be due to clouds when bing pictures have been taken ?)

Thanks for the info. Indeed Bing maps current published data displays lack of data below 5000 feet. Next altitude preset is 3000 feet and the detail disappears in the designated area you have drawn. It does look like cloud cover on the day of acquiring the data. Both Google and Apple Maps are detailed in the affected area indicating more recent data. In fact the Bing data is quite old as Google and Apple maps now have the new international terminal showing at YWLM and Bing does not. Hopefully Bing data will be updated soon.
